— Abbot Xanthios, ancient Christian mystic, quoted by the Monks of New Skete

A beautiful sentiment — and a true one, I think. I love the wisdom of the Desert Fathers. If you have any taste for ancient Christian mysticism, I highly recommend Thomas Merton’s edited collection of their sayings.
Hope you have peaceful weekends ahead! It’s hard to believe that summer is nearly done.
